Hla Oad
Hla Oad is a somewhat secretive hamlet nestled within the Fightonia nation, positioned directly south of Westport in Oldeshire. This small community, while modest in size, holds a unique place in the region due to its reputation and hidden location.
Overview
Hla Oad, discreetly situated in a dense forest, is well-concealed from casual observation, which adds to its mysterious charm. The hamlet is accessible via a small train station that connects it to the Hestia Line, linking Hla Oad with the larger towns and cities of Oldeshire.
The hamlet is primarily composed of a handful of homes built on a hidden pier, creating a sense of isolation and exclusivity. The structures, including the homes and the pier itself, are constructed of dark oak wood, allowing them to seamlessly blend with the dense forestry that envelops the community. This choice of materials not only provides a natural camouflage but also contributes to the rustic aesthetic of Hla Oad.
The social center of Hla Oad is Fatleg’s Drop Off, a small tavern known for its welcoming atmosphere towards pirates and outlaws. This tavern has become a hallmark of the hamlet, symbolizing its open-arms approach to those who might be shunned elsewhere.
Despite its small size, Hla Oad has developed a reputation as a friendly location for those on the fringes of society, particularly pirates and outlaws. This distinction sets it apart from other communities in the region and adds a layer of intrigue to its character.
